debate: Resolved, That our present system of municipal government is a failure. C. E. Street opened for Orophilian and made a good speech. He quoted considerably from Bryce's American Commonwealth. Mr. Mitchell followed for Kent Club, and made what was probably the best speech of the evening. Mr. Copper closed for Orophilian, but was unfortunate in having only five minutes in which to demolish the enemy. He made the most of his time, however. Orophilian will meet to-night for a short business meeting, adjourning to hear the lecture by the Hon. C. F. Scott.
The Hesperian seems to be satisfied with the amount appropriated by the legislature for the Nebraska State University.
Orophilian.
Orophilian and Kent Club presented a very interesting joint-program to a large audience, last Friday evening. The good music, which had been prepared for the occasion, was a pleasant feature. It consisted of a piano duet by Misses Johnston and Weller and a selection by Miss Franklin. A quartette composed of Messrs, Sears, Curry, Sawtell and Nowlin also added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The paper by C. M. Enns, on "A Russian School Boy's Literature," has been reviewed before in these columns. The paper was listened to with close attention by all present; the speaker's manner lending much charm. The excellence of the translations and the fine language used were noticed with interest.
The feature of the evening was the
Philological Club
At the meeting last Friday night the Secretary announced that he had completed a list of periodicals put in the library this year by the Philological Club and its members. They number 36—7 weeklies, 15 monthlies, and 14 quarterlies—and cost $145.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of a recent Leipzig dissertation on Alliteration in Chaucer by an American, Mr. McClumpa. There has been considerable discussion among English scholars concerning Chaucer's use of alliteration, but not until the appearance of this dissertation had the subject received adequate treatment. Here it is discussed with great thoroughness and care. The author has proceeded on a historical basis. In order to ascertain Chaucer's use of formal alliteration, he has read a large number of books written before Chaucer's time, and has carefully cited the formal alliterations which occur in them. He concludes that the single object that was sought by the use of alliteration at the hands of Chaucer was to produce poetical effect, to color and vivify the scenes, rather than to obey any law of versification such as had controlled the English poets for centuries before Chaucer.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of and illustrated a new arrangement of the sculptures in the west pediment of the temple of Zeus at Olympia, proposed by Herr Treu of Dresden. New fragments lately discovered bring the head of the Centaur in the biting Centaur group above that of the strangling Lapith, and this makes it necessary to transfer the group from the left to the right side of the pediment. The corresponding group then must be moved from the right to the left side, where the boy is much freer to strike his blow. New fragments also of the axe-swinging Lapthai make it possible to put them next to the central figure, where they can swing their arms with much more freedom and force. This necessitates an exchange of sides by the whole of the two great central groups of three. When this exchange is made, it is seen that the woman on the right is farther off from the center than the one on the left, and hence she is shorter. These changes make a much more regular and continuous descent of the heads of figures from the center to both ends of the pediment than under the old arrangement. The new arrangement agrees with the Pausanias as well as the old, for neither agrees entirely. Pausanias was wrong in taking the middle figure for Peirithous. It is Apollo
Mr. Treu thinks there was only one axe-wielder. The figure to the left probably had a sword instead. And new observations show that not only is there a difference in the material of the figures, but that this difference is greater than was supposed, and that the Pentelic marble figures show a much later style in the execution of special features, while in general they are like the others. The most reasonable explanation of these characteristics is that in late Roman times figures that had been badly injured were replaced by copies. This idea is confirmed by the finding of sufficient Roman tiles to assure us that there was an extensive, if not complete, restoration of the roof under the Romans. The pediment always contained the same number of figures. The exact correspondence of the number of figures with that in the East gable is hardly an accident.
Science Club.
There was a full attendance at the Science Club, last Friday exening, a great many being attracted especially by Mr. Franklin's paper on "Hypnotism and its relation to Christian Science." This paper, which was in part the same that was read before the Unity Club, is probably familiar in its principal points to our readers, that part which showed that the methods adopted by the so-called Christian Scientists, and mental healers, were substantially the same as those used in the treatment of disease by hypnotism or suggestion. Mr. Franklin deserves great credit for his earnest attempts to place the study of hypnotism and allied phenomena on a scientific basis, and to remove the superstitious fear with which such subjects are commonly regarded. The utter futility of the precautions which are ordinarily taken in the investigation of psychological phenomena, and the weight of popular testimony in a field where the keenest scientists are often misled, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Richard Short gave a blackboard demonstration of a new method of dividing any angle into any number of equal parts by means of a spiral of peculiar construction. Mr. Short, however, did not consider that the method was of much practical value on account of the difficulty of making accurate measurements.
Harry Buckingham gave another of his interesting papers on manufactures, "Plate Glass Making in Alleghany City." He described the process in detail and illustrated with diagrams and specimens of the sand used, and the samples of the glass in the three stages of preparation. The molten glass is run out upon level tables and rolled with a large cylinder which runs on low rails along the edge of the table. The glass, which is then almost solidified, is run into the annealing oven and gradually cooled. The plate is then put upon a polishing table and ground down by sand and water until it is perfectly smooth. Often half the thickness is ground in this process. In the discussion which followed the paper Mr. Woodard, who is an honorary member of the club, gave an additional information in regard to different qualities of plate glass.
